anyone with half a brain should have seen this coming.

i for one read it and found it useful. thanks for your time and energy spent making and sharing it.

>Fools are very clever.

this is like gospel.

#2 is something my grandmother always told me when i was young. still remember it and try to practice it today.

i came across the same issue. and i was in third place. ;(

i played for a bit, it was fun. thank you for sharing.

or learn to do proper due diligence and stop blanket blocking what could be very profitable clients.

there are many ways of load balancing chargebacks below the allowable threshold. ;)

there is also rolling reserves to help prevent the processor from holding the bag for bad merchants.

but yes, these are risky markets to play in and a few people have been left burned... but those that figured out correctly, are rolling in cash... epoch and ccbill are good examples.

rather then placing blame on your partners, find new ones that allow these types of businesses or have appetite to have more in their portfolio and shuffle your clients accounts into these providers networks.

also, visa reg's change by region, are you in multiple regions and following the rules of each? or are you operating entirely under the US region and forcing all of your clients to do so as well?

pretty straightforward google analytics API data gathering. easy to make, this code makes it even easier.

ive tried to explain it until i was blue in the face to my girlfriend, finally gave up.

i do, many of them in fact. it depends on how happy i am with the existing solution, the cost and the quality.

i reserve the right to change my mind and move my business at any time, i think everyone should, sad so many don't.

good point as well. might as well run every bit of security you can, helps stop the "script kiddies" and lower quality automated stuff.

thanks for the reply, i have actually not had the opportunity personally use stripe(aside from making payments) due to so many colleagues that have used it always advise me to write my own or avoid stripe(i've written a few over the years).

next time i use stripe and have issues i will certainly send in the data to mlm@. i reckon if i have time to bitch about it, i have time to help you solve it. transaction security is important, sounds like that team has fun work/problems to solve.

saying android is much harder is not factually correct, it varies greatly by the niche of the app/game. some do much better on android then ios store.

just a note: intelligent exploiters hide their files inside of yours, so the -mtime is useless in many cases, they will set the mtime of their upload to match the rest of the folder they hide in.

command history is also easy to alter if you know what you are doing.

stripe also has a history or turning peoples processing off randomly, categorizing businesses incorrectly and generally not being agreeable or showing the ability to be worked with at times. in fact, on my personal card, almost every time ive used stripe it was declined or scrubbed in some way... sure makes your life easier, but you leave a lot of $$$ on the table.

write your own, they arent terribly difficult to code, and you will have more control over your finances, fraud scrubbing and the likes. plus you save a ton in fees as you grow.

why would it cost $500 to issue new shares, its just a document you sign and put in your ledger. at least that's how my texas corp does it.

though i do agree, some of these small savings may or may not make sense depending on what you want to do in the future.

i always incorporate in my home state when starting a new venture, its much easier to manage.

all assets can later be sold to another LLC or Corp as the need arises, but doing all these steps in advance can just cause undue headache and complexities.

also, california is about the least small business friendly state in the union. and AFAIK, having a delaware corp doesnt save you all that much in taxes anyways. so glad i no longer have to deal with that state.

complex corp setups also confuse some investors, certainly if you are raising capital from those not savvy in the plethora of ways corps are setup to circumvent taxation and game the domicile game. they basically think you are a scammer(been there)

just 0.02

so the ex-wife made all the money from the gold rush? ;)

when i moved back to seattle from LA a few years ago, rent in issaquah was on par with the nicer LA neighborhoods(brentwood, beverly hills, santa monica).

a nice apartment close to work in greater seattle area is 2.4 - 4k a month for a two bedroom.

buying will cost you $5k+ unless you are putting a big chunk down, and that just seems to keep going up without missing a beat.

i would say its not possible to take a 50% cut and come here, unless you want to spend a lot of time commuting or hearing lots of sirens at night.

yup, last neon plant within 3 hours of me recently closed. they will be outsourcing it all to a vendor in seattle, with an additional wait time of at least two weeks per project.

it just wasnt critical to those making budget decisions.

plumbers and electricians, during their apprenticeships spend a LOT of time in classroom environments. they are even required to spend X hours per year to keep their skills up as well.

so i would say they two are in fact very similar. classroom mixed with real world use of that knowledge is better then just sitting in class the entire time with no chance to get real world usage, help and walk-throughs, until after the fact. in which case apprenticeship might be better then a degree.

on the contrary more and more usable glass art is being blown in mexico or southeast asia, due to cheaper labor, lax oversight and economics.

the equipment is not expensive enough to prevent most apprentices in US/EU/CA to just go out on their own after a while. where as in lower income countries the apprentice is easier to keep for a much longer timeline.

i wish all of their APIs were this nice.

the high school i went to was of this design as well, very much like a prison. courtyard in the middle, everything was segmented and easy to lock down. very blocky and few external windows.

you might want to check your numbers on that. based on real numbers, android is kicking iOS by a good margin, and samsung is selling way more units then apple. i think you've drinking too much of apples kool-aid.

just cut and paste all of the commands into a single script if you want one?
